Guest: David McGuire

Today's patriotic ode to the merits of safe, natural corn syrup is brought to you by David McGuire. When he is not busy preaching the sweetener gospel, he is also responsible for Gastrophobia -- a fantastic webcomic that is every bit as good for you and with only half the calories. Plus, it doesn't have any of these lame forced dietary metaphors.

KC Green's work is cartooning of the purest and most distilled variety. He has given life to the untold tale of Sam and Fuzzy's most adorable adventure ever in ways I would never have imagined, and we are all better for it. If you enjoyed it as much as I did, be sure to check out Gunshow, and all his other stuff! The man is as prolific as he is talented.

Today's comic is brought to you by Michael Stearns, author of the delightful Dawn of Time and expert Dinosaur craftsman. Michael provides us with our first look at the original Bitey the Shark, who until now has only been seen in his x-treme 90s incarnation. Merry Giftfest!
